Summaryhelped breath new life into an old box with Phenom II X3 B73. Handles a modest 3.0ghz overclock while not going over 59 C. (This is impressive given the Aria Case this is in is notorious for horrid airflow). Not an overclocking monster, but it runs reasonably quiet, great for SFF components.

SummaryI bought this for a HTPC since, given the layout of the computer, an upright heatsink (such as the Corsair A50) would not fit in the case. It keeps the OC'd processor cool and is surprisingly quiet even at full speed. I suppose if you needed more airflow you could add a louder or thicker fan (the included fan is thankfully also low-profile).

SummaryThis is a pretty good CPU cooler. It installed quite easily but I could not use it with tall DDR modules on my MSI 870-G45. The "nibs" on the ends of the heatpipes interfered with that. So I had to use some regular height DDR RAM. The fan is quiet when installed on the low setting which is not a problem for me because I am using it for a WHS box.
